1997 965. Problem with radio code, long trip coming up soon, 900 1997

After a new battery installation (Wal-Mart under $60 incl. installation and tax) we attempted to put in the anti-theft code.

Well, the number I remembered was incorrect. After three attempts, the radio locked up and all the display would show was "Off".

Got home, checked the Owner's Manual. Very clear about "after three failed attempts the radio will lock up for two hours".

So we waited the two hours. Some time in driving, some time in being parked. Tried again, same thing. "Off"

Tried this morning, still "Off".

What am I doing wrong? Should the two hours be while the ignition is on?

The first time I ever did this was after a dead battery incident. The correct code worked quite well.

What to try next? Wife taking car on a 250-mile business trip Monday early.

Any help appreciated. Thank you,

Bob
